Overwhelmed by manual testing?

New Gatepoint Research reveals 67% of testing teams lack meaningful automation. As a result, manual testing overwhelms teams, releases are delayed, and code quality suffers. But forward-thinking organizations are modernizing test management with AI-powered platforms and strategic automation. 

This survey from Gatepoint Research of 120 software executives reveals: 

  • 67% have little to no test automation, forcing manual operations 
  • 60% describe their process as manual and repetitive 
  • 35% say test volume exceeds available work hours 
  • 74% are prioritizing test automation to scale effectively 

SmartBear QMetry delivers AI-powered test management that unifies automation, orchestration, and traceability across your entire testing lifecycle – solving for these prevalent pain points. Break free from manual processes and scale your testing without scaling headcount by reading the full reporting and learning more about QMetry.
